“Finish this List” would be impossible since it’s part of the list, you’d need to finish it to check it off, you can only finish 99 of those. =P
other than that…kill a great white shark while swimming

Get my job back as a lifeguard after that blue kid got me fired !
May 26th, 2009 at 05:03:04
I love at how people can do this sort of thing, aspiring to achieve so much in the short time we have
I will most likely end up writing one of these some day but, as a 16 year old, I don’t see much right now I’d want to do later in life :P
I’ll go for 30 things in 365 days for now (^_^)
Also, I recommend making a short movie, it’s brilliant fun and even if you don’t have funding (God knows, I don’t :P) you can still make something to get an idea across or even just make people laugh

Now I think you need to go back and make a list of 100 things you’ve actually done so that you can truly appreciate yourself and all of your accomplishments. (I’ve done it and will be posting it shortly for my 100th blog post, and I’m only 18 so I’m sure you can.) [=

Great list!
I created a list of things to do before I turned 30. I probably would have gotten more things done if I had started it before 29. I think I’ll dust it off and continue it. Thanks for the reminder. Good luck!!
August 19th, 2010 at 22:05:57

August 30th, 2010 at 08:18:43
#86 Fly a kite: that’s too easy. Make a kite, then fly it :)
#72 Finish this list. Hmm, still revising it?
August 30th, 2010 at 10:19:21
Your absolutely right, flying a kite should be rather easy to complete. Sounds like a good activity for the weekend.
